We truly live in the age of instant gratification. Though next week’s special IMAX-only screenings for the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer were recently confirmed from director Zack Snyder‘s tweet, it seems fans could not wait that long.
Believed to have been illegally filmed from one such special screening, a leak of blurry footage spread like wildfire on YouTube and torrent sites yesterday.
Well, now we have the real...

The Fast and the Furious franchise is a film series that has gone through the strangest evolution. From a range of films that started as guilty pleasures in a generation of films like Torque – where illegal street races, souped-up vehicles, and the ever-present “NOS” to give that extra speed-boost were the norm – the Fast & Furious movies have since grown to be legitimately impressive films that have shaped the fun side...

The tagline for Transformers: Age of Extinction tells us that “The rules have changed.” Yet the formula here remains largely the same, which must mean that the rulebook only has one page.
If you’ve seen at least one of director Michael Bay’s Transformers films then you can probably predict how this plays out. The intent is to deliver the most glorious destruction and explosions your eyes will ever see, enhanced by IMAX 3D no less. This involves...

Paying homage to the classic science fiction films of the 1970s, Oblivion is based on a graphic novel of the same name by Joseph Kosinski, who also directs the movie. Set in 2073, it stars Tom Cruise as former Marine Commander Jack Harper, one of the last few drone repairmen stationed at Earth after the planet was devastated by an alien invasion 60 years ago.
Oblivion’s UK premiere will be held on 4 April at London’s BFI IMAX cinema,...

That this took place during a midnight screening of Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises has unfortunately cast a shadow on the film. As noted by Devin Faraci...

I know this is a big claim, but I think that The Avengers has just been knocked off the top spot for superhero movies. Sure it may not gross as high and the film may not have the mass appeal that the family friendly action blockbuster had, but The Dark Knight Rises fills a very different and equally important role in the landscape of superhero films.
Let me start of by saying that The Dark Knight Rises is less of a Batman film, and more of a Bruce...

Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has proven to be a fantastic start to the summer movie season, making US box office history by scoring the highest opening weekend EVER!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 broke the record back in July 2011 when it earned $169 million, but it could barely hold on to it for more than a year. This past weekend saw Potter’s wand smashed by Thor’s hammer after Marvel Studios’ The Avengers completely obliterated...
